Worktop Repair in Craigcrook
Worktop repair in and around Craigcrook: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped edge
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair in Craigcrook, done in place
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you’re dealing with a damaged sink edge and a chipped quartz edge, we can usually put it right, on laminate, quartz and granite & marble alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Craigcrook: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. A picture lets us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Craigcrook included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Craigcrook
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
